A long-time favorite of fleet buyers like delivery services and the Post Office (not since 1984 though), if you’re interested, you can buy a Wrangler Unlimited in right-hand drive. In case you forgot, reminded us all that if you want something brand new () that’s RHD, Jeep will supply.

The Wrangler RHD is its own trim in the Wrangler lineup now. Starting at $38,925, it sits toward the higher end of the lineup, slotting between the Sport Altitude below and the Sahara above.

I’m not quite sure who the market would be for this. It’s a niche for sure, but this being Jeep, I’m sure there is some appeal out there somewhere. You’re paying more for less. No doubt most of the cost of this thing is wrapped up in the unique RHD setup.

Opting for the RHD trim limits you. For starters, you can’t get RHD on the two-door. It’s only available on Unlimited models. Also, the only engine and transmission available is the base 2.0-liter turbo-four with the eight-speed auto. No V6, diesel, or stick. Don’t count on any serious off-road goodies either. While it does have 4WD and you get skid plates on the transmission and transfer case, it gets a Dana M200 rear axle along with conventional differential front and rear axles. You also can only get 17-inch wheels and you can choose any top as long as it’s either a black three-piece hardtop or no top .

Inside, it’s basic Wrangler as well, sporting cloth seats with manual adjustments and a laughably small five-inch touch screen on the dash. You can choose an Alpine audio system for $1,295 and a $995 cold weather package, but that’s it. Loaded out you’re looking at $42,955 for a RHD Wrangler. This may be one of the greatest Wranglers to ever go on sale in its simplicity, if that’s what you’re looking for. That and taking a leap of faith every time you pull out to pass on a country two-lane.

What would you do if you were offered a — a convertible, mid-engine sports car with stunning looks, 641 horsepower, a curb weight of about 3,000 pounds, and the ability to hit 60 mph from a standstill in three seconds — but you could only drive it 250 miles? Would...

Did you know that the Eagles started out as one of Linda Ronstadt's back-up bands? If you don't know who Linda Ronstadt is then maybe today's Eagle will additionally have you asking AMC what? That doesn't mean you still can't get familiar with this '80s flier. Terrible then, terrible-ier now....

Oh what a world we live in when even the most plebeian can potentially afford a V12-powered luxury sedan. Today's 750i is just such a twelve for the masses, although its custom body will assure that you still stand out. Do you remember your teen years, that time in your...

For $15,995, This 1984 Hurst Olds Cutlass Might Still Be Sharp
Built to commemorate the original, today's Hurst/Olds isn't your father's Oldsmobile. That is, unless it just so happens that your father was wicked cool in the '80s, then it just might be. Will this one's present price however, make papa proud? Despite some questionable mods made in its restoration -...
